We are developing a web framework for community-science projects with the Vista Variables in the ViaL ́actea Survey with applications that includes: Iden-tification and Classification of candidate galaxiesand transients within them; Classification of lightcurves; Monitoring of the galactic centre; Monitor-ing of some solar system objects. The first phase ofthis project involves the eyeball detection/ classifi-cation of galaxies and the monitoring of supernovaeand is being developed in python as part of JuanBautista Cabral?s PhD thesis.
